:hurray: re- roofed quite a few steeples in my time Rob, height is a concept, falling doesn't kill ya, landing does!, but seriously I think peeps have an unhealthy fear of heights, you put a 12inch plank on the deck and most people will have no fear about walking it's length,......put the same plank 30 foot in the air and most people wouldn't walk it,,, but what's the difference??

confidence! I know what you mean I would run along a single skin dwalf wall but not a parapet!

TBH my fear of height comes and goes, If I haven't been up on a roof for a while it takes me a couple of hours to get my head straight, once the confidence is back, i don't give it a second thought. My stepdad was a roofer so got used to them early on, along with sore shoulders bumping tiles 8 hours a day!

But you still wouldn't get me going up that ladder! not because of the height but because it's about 10 tied together!

lol Neale, and true, and yes Rob unnecessary risks like that are not acceptable within a work environment, but don't forget that asian countries have built skyscrapers with bamboo lashed together (granted, with a few fatalities)

 

[doug boardley]

actually Rob it's really surprising how many people will not stand on the glass block at the top of B'pool tower
